Q&A

What is your hometown, and what’s the best thing about it?
My hometown is Kyiv, Ukraine, and the best thing about it is the fact that it will never keep you bored. There's everything from exploring urban abandoned buildings, to theme parks, to malls that have entire ecosystems in them.
When you’re not working, you’re most likely…
When I'm not working, there are three things I could be doing: tennis, League of Legends, and shooting/editing videos. I've been playing tennis since I was seven years old and am currently playing for the Belhaven Blazers. Shooting vlogs and editing them is a hobby I've had since I was also very young; it all started out with stop-motion short LEGO movies, then skits, and now just documenting fun things in my life through my camera. Lastly, after I wrap up a day packed with coding, tennis, and Premiere Pro, I enjoy hopping on and playing one or two League of Legends matches. This sometimes costs me three hours of sleep and leaves me with regret in the morning as I ask myself why I went to bed so late.
Tell us about a place you visited and something you loved about it.
Last winter, I got to visit New York City (more specifically, Manhattan). What I loved about it is how much it reminded me of my hometown: the constant noise, people being everywhere you look at all times of the day, different styles, different languages, public transport, and small apartments. Something about all of that was like getting a scent of a familiar childhood smell that I enjoyed.
